This Lyceum Fellowship Competition called for proposals for an artist-in-residence community to be built around the 500-foot deep Wells-Lamson Quarry in Barre, VT. Entrants were asked to develop an architecture that responded to the depth of the quarry, the exposed granite walls, the surrounding deciduous forest, and the nearby town. Program requirements included developing studio space for visual, literary, landscape and performing artists, housing for the artists, a public education pavilion with classrooms, cafe and gift shops.
This proposal positions the different studios at separate points along an existing hiking trail, combined with living quarters. As a strategy for experiencing the extraordinary landscape, the hiking trail allows visitors to develop a sense of place through experience of the topography, geology and history of the site. The pathway becomes the architecture of the buildings, linking the structures to the site and procession.

The studios are built in expansions of the path. As the pathway cuts deeper into the hillside, it reveals an expansion of space that the removed earth occupied. The buildings spring from this expansion, built from a series of retaining walls parallel to the path, and structural supporting walls that are perpendicular. These walls shape and divide the space into separate studios and rooms, with the primary retaining wall of the path dividing the structure into space for living and working. The studios are elevate over the path with opening to the north to provide plentiful light, and views of the quarry over the trees.
At the ground level, the path splits allowing the option to continue through the studio, where stairs to the studio and living quarters branch to the left and right, or down and around to the right, under the cantilevered studios. The expansion of the path and varying of depth creates spaces for people to sit and relax, experiencing the unique environment.

Magazine Beach is a site along the Charles River in Cambridge, MA. This proposal for a community center identifi es that the site is unsuited to serve neighboring communities and instead focuses on those passing though: the joggers, bikers, and athletes that use the space to unwind. The project contends with the site’s inherent linear nature by tangling the many routes through it into a central focus point.
From the tangled pathways, a structure forms, housing a public-service bicycle shop and indoor health club. The project hopes to provide a source for people to engage in physical activity and promote good health, as well as build a sense of community and interaction in a transient site.

The site contends with two very different edges; Memorial Drive, a busy, pedestrian un-friendly roadway to the north that separates the site from nearby residential neighborhoods, and the Charles River to the south. Pathways raise to create structures at these boundaries, providing a coherent edge to the street, seating and overlook space at the river’s edge, and a quieter zone in the center that is insulated from the traffi c on both sides. The dividing pathways offer people various routes through the site from direct, speedy commute to a challenging climb over the larger gymnasium structure. Pathways running counter-grain to the fl ow of the site weave through the structures, defi ning spaces of vertical circulation in between spaces of program.

These two projects represent quick, workshop-like investigations into temporary architecture along the banks of the Charles River.
The fi rst project recalls the Charles’ days as an industrial/agricultural waterway, before it transformed into the picturesque parkway it now is. In the early 20th century, the riverbanks were home to many slaughterhouses that dumped excess straight into the river, creating a odorous and unpleasant experience downstream.
This proposal for a mobile chicken coup places the idea of agrarian life back in the experience of the modern city dweller. The coup and integrated fencing system expand during the day to allow spectators to view the birds inside, and close in tight during the night for protection. With each opening and closing of the structure, the coup creeps along the bank, moving from JFK park to Western Ave over the course of a growing season. As the chickens move along, they leave behind a wake of fertilized garden space. As the planting space becomes available throughout the year, seasonal plantings provide a record of the progression.

1.3.3: Linear fl ow of river and its fl anking highways.
1.3.4: Disruption of boundary with transverse fl ows.

The second temporary project proposes a series of platforms that allow visitors to cross the water-land boundary at the edge of the river and inhabit points out along the surface. Series of pier-like posts are positioned at points along the river, which allow for wooden platforms to be placed on top, and for people to walk out over the water. These platforms are positioned to create viewing points for events like the Head of the Charles Regatta, meeting temporal programmatic needs.

This project for a visiting music professor was developed from a building systems perspective. Beginning with a requirement of concrete frame structure, it uses materiality and spatial organi-zation to provide living and performance space, as well as effi cient environmental systems. Two massive concrete walls delineate a circulation space and enable cantilevering of the second fl oor living spaces over an open, fl uid ground level.
This project was a collaboration with classmates Cody Story and Jeremy Afuso.

1.5.3: View of development from pedestrian bridge over river
This project responds to the needs of an aging population. With Americans living longer, occurrences of dementia-related disease, such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s are growing as well. This urban masterplan is centered around an elderly care center focused on their care. To ease the transition to a new environment where they can be cared for, the project builds familiarity over the course of one’s life. Through programs oriented towards younger residents, such as jogging paths or community gardens, people become familiar with the site. In later years, when patients can no longer care for themselves, they feel safe in an environment they have known for much of their life.
Building forms present a strong urban exterior to the existing streets, and a softer, transparent edge to the interior courtyards. Elevated pathways running through the site provide space for patients to wander without danger of getting lost or interacting with traffi c.

The nursing facility accounts for the changing needs of the residents as they age. The units on the ground and second fl oors are conceived as group residences where people share common spaces with three or four roommates. Each group unit has an adjoining apartment where a caretaker can live full time with immediate access to the patients. These fl oors have greater access to the outdoors as these patients are assumed to be less of a wandering risk. The upper fl oors consist of patients rooms clustered around group spaces in the cor-ridors. These rooms are provided access to balcony spaces that connect the space to the outdoors while maintain security for the patients.

Community MusicWorks is an organization based in Providence that teaches classical music to under-privileged children. This project proposed moving to a new location in Roger Williams Park that although it would provide a nice setting along the water’s edge, would sacrifi ce their vital urban link they possess at their existing store front site in downtown providence. This design seeks to maintain the link to the community by stretching the program along the site, and weaving circulation between different elements through the classroom building. Circulation from the covered gathering space descends through plinths of programmatic space to the stage and outdoor seating along the edge of the water.

This proposal for a new community garden in Providence’s Elmwood neigh-borhood began with the invention of the term “adaptive growth hut.” In coining this phrase, as a studio group we set for ourselves the challenge of building an architecture that would respond to, register, and change with the garden as it grows and adapts over time. We chose to work with bent wood forms as a way to express the organic nature of the ma-terial itself and to communicate directly the link between the building material and the program of the garden.
The design focused on four governing ideas - growth, community, adapta-tion and earth. In these four realms, we sought a design solution that could pro-vide an identifi able construction and plan that could build on the ideas of growth, adaptation and build a sense of com-munity, while at the same time operating in the background of a very simple and timeless relationship of the gardener to the earth.
This project was designed and built co-operatively within our studio. I served as project manager and was responsible for ensuring that the project was completed on time and on budget, and I held the fi nal determination over every detail and design feature in the fi nal construction.

2.1.3: Decking bent up to become seating.
2.1.4: Multi-layered roof allows light into shed structure.

This installation in RISD’s Bayard Ewing Building’s gallery was conceived from interfering wave patterns. Multiple wave functions were written and analyzed using Microsoft Excel, which were then imported to Rhino to create a 3D sur-face. The invented surface was placed within the gallery to divide the space into a circulation zone and a discussion zone. The surface was then cut accord-ing to local constraints, such as sprinkler pipes or ceiling conditions. The resulting form was built from laser cut OSB ribs and coated with fi berglass on a portion of the surface. This project was a joint effort with my peers Andy Wise and Josh Ingold.

I traveled to the rain forest of Ecuador with a group of fellow RISD students and Universidad Technica Ecuatoriana to design and build a museum for an environmental preserve while learning the local customs and construction techniques. The museum is meant to help main-tain a rich cultural history while the effects of modernization are rapidly changing the environ-ment.
With the help of local residents, the structure was designed and built in the traditional Ecua-dorian style, with several key variations. In place of bamboo cross bracing, which would interrupt views of the river on which the site resides, a steel cable system was implemented to stiffen the structure. The traditional method of separat-ing the roof structure from the roof surface was maintained around all sides to create a more coherent system, as opposed to the traditional method of collapsing these surfaces at the shorter ends.

2.3.7: Detail Images. Left: Columns were built of tripled bamboo pillars to provide adequate structural strength. Center: The surface of the roof is separated from the primary structure to allow for proper ventilation and to extend the overhang of the roof farther around the foundation elements. Right: Steel cables were used in the place of additional lateral bamboo, freeing the wall plane to allow for exhibition or views.

Massachusetts Biotech InitiativesWorcester, MATsoi/Kobus & AssociatesRole: Architectural Design/CDs2005-2006
This is a small tenant fi t-out of a space in a lab building that Tsoi/Kobus & Associates designed for Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The client was an incubator corporation that would rent lab space to fl edgeling start-ups. As tenants would occupy the lab for limited durations with varying spatial needs, the space was designed to allow for fl exibility with mobile lab benches and ceiling-mounted service panels for gas and water.
For this project, I worked under close supervision of an architect to design and draft the set of construction documents, then coordinated with MEP consultants to produce the fi nal set. Afterwards, I assisted in construction administration by coordinating documentation and responding to RFIs and submittals.
3.1.3: Ceiling-mounted service panel.

New Doha International AirportDoha, Qatar
HOKRole: Construction Administration Coordination
2007-2009
In my three years at HOK, I coordinated all construction information between our offi ce in San Francisco, our fi eld offi ce in Doha, and our consultants for the New Doha International Airport. The project consisted of a new airport, mosque, and parking structure, encompassing more than 6,000,000 sf. I pre-reviewed all RFI and Submittals as they were delivered electronically by the contractor, then assigned and distributed them to the appropriate parties. In this position, I also maintained information regarding construction changes occurring in the C.A. process, and coordinated monthly change bulletins issued to the contractor to maintain up-to-date construction documents.

4.2.1: A sculpture based on a natural phenomenon. This project dealt with the northern lights as an occurrence based on the solar wind interacting with Earth’s atmosphere. 50 light bulbs hang in front of a piece of sheet metal, blown by an oscillating fan. When the springs mounted to the back of the bulbs touch the sheet metal, their circuits complete and they light up. The construct becomes a piece of dancing illumination as the wind excites the bulbs from one side to the other and back again.
